Soluble fibers have been shown to have many positive effects in humans, including laxation and maintaining gastrointestinal health. It is expected that feeding soluble fibers will decrease protein fermentative end=products while increasing carbohydrate fermenative end-products, and lead to a more beneficial microbial profile. Determination of the effects of nutriose and polydextrose when included as supplemental fiber in a human diet will give insights to its potential to maintain or improve gut health and highlight its use in the food industry.
